Kind of a whirlwind experience - The original day we booked was cancelled and rescheduled due to bad weather. On the rescheduled day, the hike to the mountain was awful. The winds and snow made the 50 min hike take an hour and a half. The volcano itself is incredible, it made the trip worth it. The snow had died down by the time we hiked back, which ended up being a very pleasant walk back.

Superb tour - Fabulous tour, would most definitely recommend. Our guide Jonas was fantastic, very knowledgeable and helpful. We were very lucky with the weather so the walk was very enjoyable. The volcano experience was unbelievable, beautiful, difficult to put into words how amazing it was. Soup and drinks were available afterwards at base camp. Highly recommend this tour.

Breathtaking experience! - It was amazing to be inside such an enormous volcano dating 4500 years old. The colors made the volcano a work of art. Simply stunning, one of our trip highlights!
